Hey, check it out, this is the first video of Chapter 1: The Accounting Equation. It's thrilling. You're going to love it!
Hello there, I'm Aaron. I designed and coded this site, recorded all these videos, and wrote all the practice problems. I got my Undergrad and Master's in Accounting and then went on to get my CPA License (exciting, right?). I worked at Ernst and Young for about a year but never really loved it, so I quit and became a programmer. I do love accounting though, and I love teaching it, which is why I made this site. Please feel free to reach out to me if you ever have any questions!
A couple of bits of info about the site:
- I've recorded 84 videos, which means you get 845 minutes of accounting (lucky you)
- There are 70 practice problems right now, and I'm always adding more.
- Those problems & videos cover all 11 chapters of Accy 201.
- You can email me anytime at [email protected].

Chapter 1
Introduction to Accounting
Thank you for creating and providing these resources! It was very helpful and taught concepts in an engaging and simple manner.
— Joseph Y., Fall 2019
Chapter 2
Recording Transactions
It definitely helped me make sense of the last couple chapters before the final when things in class started going over my head. I like that you use visuals and diagrams as well as going through examples. The visual for the breakdown of authorized stock is an example of one I found extremely helpful.

You saved me in accounting and I made an A!

— Jimmy, Spring 2016

Inventories
Your videos literally saved me. I ended up with a B, but let me tell you I was destined for a D before I discovered your website!
— Mikey, Fall 2018

Cash and Bank Reconciliations
Thank you so much for the videos you put together. They are a tremendous help and I really appreciate all that you do!
— Conner, Fall 2015
Chapter 7
Accounts Receivable and Bad Debts
Honestly, if it weren't for your website, I would not have passed this class. I bombed the first two exams with 50s, but then after one of my friends told me about your website, I managed to bring my next exam score up to a 77. I did better than the class average of 68! Your videos are super clear and easy to follow. I appreciate how much effort you put into them.

The videos are are very helpful. You really have a way of making the material very understandable. You should be a college professor!!
— Nicole, Spring 2018
Chapter 9
Current Liabilities
Your videos have truly helped more than I could ever explain! They gave me such a good guideline for how to solve problems, and how you go through each problem step-by-step makes accounting seem so much easier.
— Caitlyn, Spring 2018
Chapter 10
Long Term Liabilities
Your site was the reason I got an A. This was the most helpful website, and your videos were extremely clear. I am so thankful it was recommended to me and I recommend it to anyone who really wants to understand and do well in the course.
— Kaitlyn C., Fall 2019
Chapter 11
Capital Stock
The videos were clear and easy to understand and the breakdown into short simple videos was nice. That way you weren't having to watch an hour long lecture when all you needed was 5 minutes of information.
